Game Details - Girls Basketball

In a tight battle throughout, No. 9 seed Jordan edged No. 8 Cedar Valley as Lele Liava'a hit a corner 3-pointer as time expired on an assist from Fui Niumeitolu. Liava'a scored all five of her points late in the game. Her two free throws tied the game at 53-53, but Cedar Valley then went ahead 55-53 with 5.1 seconds remaining on a rebound putback by Olivia Kaaihue. Jordan still had time to find the winner though as Lea Afu collected the inbounds pass at midcourt, tossed it to Niumeitolu who found Liava'a in the corner. "It was a battle all game long. Cedar Valley is a great team who came out ready to play. I'm really proud of my girls for continuing to fight even when things weren't going our way. Both teams made big plays down the stretch. Lele stepped up and hit a big shot when we needed it." — Jordan coach Tallon Robertson
